Scientists in the Czech Republic are conducting trials with Miscanthus, a fast-growing perennial grass, to assess its potential in rehabilitating Ukrainian agricultural land damaged by war. The research is supported by a NATO-backed project focused on environmental recovery in conflict-affected regions. The grass is being evaluated for its ability to extract pollutants from contaminated soil and improve overall soil health. Beyond remediation, the plant could also serve as a source of biomass for renewable energy production. The ultimate goal is to return degraded farmland near areas like Bucha to productive agricultural use.
